Is the header pre-compile option just for VC 7.1, or is it also for (Apple
special) GCC 3.3?  Looking at the code from a few posts ago, complaining
about the GCC problem, I don't think you can use the pre-compiled header.
The auto-testing system requires BOOST_AUTO_TEST_MAIN to be #defined in
exactly one source file, which disqualifies it from being in a common
header.  Worse, that also means that other headers that pay attention to
that macro can't be in a common header, otherwise the One Definition Rule
would be broken.
